Using AS 3.0 and the action script project I was planning on writting a small file handeling utility to make processing files through AS better and easier. The problem is the API states that to call file you go
import flash.file
Well in flashbuilder going import flash. only gives me filter, and no file handeling imports....
im following some suggestions to cut my flash website into a few sections to make preloading a bit easier.
so all i want is to make a small round ring rotate as long as the file is loading. so i looked and followed a lot tutorials but all the preloaders tutorials are much more compliceted then i need. they all have persentige sowing, and a bar that is filling according to how much the file has loaded, and colors changing etc. so i tried to take from the tutorials wat i need for my simple preloader to work but i get stuck.i built the animation of the rotating ring, but i get stuck with the actions i need to make the animation work as long as the file is working. i called my ring animation "circularloader". here is a image of the page with the ring:
In flash cs5 can you have AS3 classes in separate files like in flashbuilder. I just want to make games with just actionscript and no flex/authorscript
View 9 RepliesI'm working on an interactive company, and for each campaign we create dozens of loaders. A loader is a simple flash file contains the following elements:* few lines of code for eRate (counting how many clicks have been done on a banner)* a loader for the source banner from "http://....host.../..../" + w,h + ".swf"* a button that tells what happens when a banner is clicked (different portals as us for different scripts)Is there a way to automate the process of making such files? it takes a 1 minute to make 1 swf, but the amount of loaders make the work a bit longer.I'd like to see an application that asks for a list for sizes + eRate code for each one and the URL for the source banners.

Supose my item within the array collection (named 'ac') is something like:
Code:
var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{property:'foo'},{property:'bar'}]);
I can get the items property if I use a 'for' loop like:

var acToStr:String = "";

View 2 RepliesI have a component library. It has a manifest file that looks like this:

I compile the library through FlashBuilder with these compiler settings:
When I use the compiled library in other FlashBuilder projects everything works as expected. I get code completion and when I select a suggestion from the code completion a namespace attribute is automatically added to the component, like this:

View 3 RepliesI can't figure out why this wont work consistently. I have a few containers in a column that load small swf files on run time. My code which always works in the past, looks like this:
Code:
client1.loadMovie("interactive/rocksolid_cs.swf");
client2.loadMovie("interactive/malibuchronicle_cs.swf");
client3.loadMovie("interactive/spod_cs.swf");
client4.loadMovie("interactive/chicknecessities_cs.swf");
and so on.
The issue is that sometimes, this works perfectly. I load the page and the files load. Then, randomly other times, only parts of the external swfs load. All of the external swfs have static text on one layer, then a rollover movieclip on the others. The times when it doesn't work correctly, usually the text loads, but the movieclips don't. I don't understand why this isn't working, but I need it to 100% of the time.
my preloader starts at 55 percent. this is because the first frame (if i can trust the bandwidth-profiler) has a size of 32 kb. i think this is strange, because the b-profiler also tells me the film has a total size of 35 kb. after the first preloader frames are some small files with transitions only, and then there is the main frame, which has a size of 18 kb my preloaderframe only contains a small bar and a dynamic textfield, just like the tutorial says... i ve already searched the forums, i found that quite many people have the same problem, but i didnt find any solution... i do not load any swfs dynamically. the only thing i can imagine that could cause that problem is the embed font which i use for the dynamic textfield in the preloader. is that possible?
View 8 Repliesi have a question and i'm hoping to find an answer here, i created a flashbuilder project that contains some classes with functions that i use often, i have around 6 classes, would it be possible to compile these classes to a swc file so i just have to add the swc in a new project to access them?
Or isnt it possible to create swc's with flashbuilder? Maybe i could do it in flash but dont have any idea how to compile multiple classes into 1 swc. file.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but ive never used it before and couldnt find much about is.
I have a mega XML file... there are 4 child nodes for over 2000 entries... trouble is, even when I try without a trace to make sure it's finding the XML (which it does)... it gets to around 500 then times out... it mentions a default timer of 15 seconds, is there a way to change this? Also is there something I should be doing for mega XML files?

I'm trying to build a small app that will iterate through an array of sound files to see if they are valid.I'm simulating corrupt sound files by taking .png's and changing the extension on them to .mp3 The idea is a sound will start playing and the timer will start. When the sound is done playing the next sound will start and the timer will reset and start counting down again. If a sound does not finish within 45 seconds the timer will complete, output the name of the file that did not finish, and then skip to the next file. For some reason though the timer does not reset when the sounds finish playing, it just keeps counting down from wherever it is.

I am developing a Image uploader using Flash 10. I am using Filereference object to browse images and Loader to show the image:
Sample code:
var tempFileRef:FileReference = FileReference(ev.target);
var oLoader:Loader = new Loader();
oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoad);
oLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
oLoader.loadBytes(tempFileRef.data);
It works fine with .jpg and .gif files but when I browse .bmp or .tiff file, I am getting the error:
Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.
Is there a way to load and display browsed .bmp images from desktop?

I am using a logo in .png form. I would like to have the logo very small at first and then get bigger frame by frame as it goes down the timeline. I created a keyframe on frame 1 and then another keyframe on frame 40. I then made the logo on frame 1 a small size, and I have the logo on frame 40 a large size. I am not sure how to tween them to produce the effect. It won't let me select the "shape" tween. I tried "classic" tween and motion tween (makes you convert to symbols), but no dice.
